"There were a few officers there who were talking to him and trying to get him to come down but he wasn't having any of it.

"Quite a few people stopped to have a look and were telling the police to leave him alone and let him get on with it."

Police cordoned off the area

Before the man came down, a spokeswoman for Humberside Police said: “We were called shortly before 12.30pm today and specialist negotiators are currently working with the man in an effort to bring him down safely.

“A cordon is in place to protect the safety of residents, the man and emergency services.

“We would also appeal for people to avoid the area so that we can minimise disruption and bring the incident to a safe conclusion.”
